I tried to check the link to see if you had anything going there, but the link attempts to load some funky java applet and what with all the viruses I choose to not load it.

OK I bit the bullet and allowed the applet to load. The GUI is great. I entered in a test race and it seemed to generate a good matrix. I haven't tested the actual scoring etc. I did enter 16 pilots with two of them having frequency conflicts and all seemed to work well. It would be nice to have a dummy race so one could explore the possibilities of the applet.

How do you intend for someone to use this? Most races don't have an internet connection and installing an applet to run stand alone will be a task beyond most RC pylon racers expertise I think. Making it an EXE program would allow others to use it i.e., C++ or Visual Basic.

Anyway I like the look and feel, what algorithm is used to generate the matrix? Thanks for making the effort. It would be really nice to have an alternative program to use at races.

Good job!

PS:
Contact me about suggestions. I have been working races for many years and have quite a bit of experience with Paul Herman's program as well as having written the timing program on the NMPRA website. There are also some unique requirements for Club 40 style racing involving the generation of the "Mains" after the normal rounds are flown.
